1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:03,760
Speaker 1: Well, there is the chance for more medals this evening

2
00:00:03,800 --> 00:00:05,640
Speaker 1: in Paris. The rowers are back in action and we're

3
00:00:05,640 --> 00:00:09,280
Speaker 1: good at rowing men's and doubles, men's and women's double

4
00:00:09,320 --> 00:00:12,760
Speaker 1: skulls finals alongside the men's and women's coxus fours finals

5
00:00:12,760 --> 00:00:15,760
Speaker 1: as well. Eric Murray's been there. Eric Murray's won that.

6
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:19,279
Speaker 1: Eric Murray's with me now, Hello, Eric, thank you, Andrew

7
00:00:19,360 --> 00:00:23,160
Speaker 1: Hew are you very good? Brook Francis and Lucy Spores

8
00:00:23,239 --> 00:00:25,480
Speaker 1: and the double skull women And it says final A.

9
00:00:25,760 --> 00:00:28,200
Speaker 1: What does final A mean versus final.

10
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:33,839
Speaker 2: And rowing? We have we race everything very similar to

11
00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:35,800
Speaker 2: the rugby sevens, where you race all the way down

12
00:00:35,840 --> 00:00:38,760
Speaker 2: to get a ranking. So if you're in the final amen's,

13
00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:41,160
Speaker 2: you're in the top six and you get the chants

14
00:00:41,159 --> 00:00:43,360
Speaker 2: for the medals. If you're in a final B then

15
00:00:43,400 --> 00:00:46,400
Speaker 2: you're sort of what seven to twelve, and if you're

16
00:00:46,400 --> 00:00:49,879
Speaker 2: in a final seed then you're thirteen to eighteen. I'll

17
00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:52,440
Speaker 2: try and do my maths, so that's basically what that's

18
00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:53,640
Speaker 2: just how rowing too minology?

19
00:00:53,920 --> 00:00:57,000
Speaker 1: Okay, So Brook Francis and Lucy Spores could win a gold.

20
00:00:58,080 --> 00:01:01,840
Speaker 2: The absolutely good at the moment going on paper, they're

21
00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:06,119
Speaker 2: the fastest qualifiers, and I think they're finding themselves probably

22
00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:08,280
Speaker 2: in a position that they wouldn't have thought that they

23
00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:13,240
Speaker 2: would be. You know, two mothers who have been revolutionizing

24
00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:16,680
Speaker 2: training to be able to look after their children, you know,

25
00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:18,480
Speaker 2: and been able to work together. I think it's a

26
00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:21,319
Speaker 2: fabulous story and what they've been able to achieve to

27
00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:24,240
Speaker 2: get to this point is pretty special. So you know,

28
00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:29,560
Speaker 2: they have an absolute, very very good chance of winning them.

29
00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:31,480
Speaker 1: Okay, well that's at nine to eighteen PM and it's

30
00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:33,960
Speaker 1: followed directly at nine point thirty by Robbie Vanson and

31
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:36,000
Speaker 1: Jordan Perry and they're in the double skulls men in

32
00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:38,200
Speaker 1: Final A as well. How about their chances.

33
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:43,520
Speaker 2: I think that they would be very very happy if

34
00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:45,600
Speaker 2: they could pick up a medal. I don't think they're

35
00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:49,240
Speaker 2: going to win. The Dutch Foo's been one of the standouts.

36
00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:51,760
Speaker 2: You know, they did get third in their semi finals,

37
00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:54,840
Speaker 2: so on paper you'd argue to say they're fifth or sixth,

38
00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:57,040
Speaker 2: But at the end of the day they're in a final.

39
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:00,280
Speaker 2: Have people cook their goose trying to go but hard

40
00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:03,400
Speaker 2: to make it into you know, the finals. Who's pulled

41
00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:05,600
Speaker 2: up well after the racing, you know, a day ago,

42
00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:10,200
Speaker 2: so there's a lot of factors into place. But if

43
00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:12,440
Speaker 2: they win a medal, I'd be very very happy for them.

44
00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:16,240
Speaker 2: But on paper they're just going to be potentially off

45
00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:18,600
Speaker 2: the pace. But you know what, fingers crossed, anything can.

46
00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:21,640
Speaker 1: Happen, all right, Tim Cox's four cruise women and men.

47
00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:23,320
Speaker 1: We've got the women going off at nine fifty of

48
00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:25,080
Speaker 1: the men going off at ten ten. Can either of

49
00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:25,880
Speaker 1: those crews do it?

50
00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:30,200
Speaker 2: Absolutely? I think our men they've probably got our best

51
00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:34,920
Speaker 2: charts of winning a gold medal. They have shown themselves

52
00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:38,119
Speaker 2: throughout the season. They have been the fastest qualifier through

53
00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:42,640
Speaker 2: the heat. But obviously, you know we're now in finals racing.

54
00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:46,200
Speaker 2: Depending on the conditions with the cruise, are going to

55
00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:48,560
Speaker 2: be brave and go out and you know, literally throw

56
00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:52,880
Speaker 2: kitchen sink it trying to win. That'll be a wait

57
00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:55,320
Speaker 2: and see. But I think they're formed. They've been looking

58
00:02:55,600 --> 00:03:00,360
Speaker 2: very very good. They're getting coached by Emma Twiggs, coach

59
00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:04,160
Speaker 2: Mike Roger and so yeah, so basically they've got a

60
00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:06,240
Speaker 2: very good shot. Now a woman on the other side,

61
00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:09,880
Speaker 2: they're going to be fighting for the bronze. At the stage,

62
00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:14,120
Speaker 2: you know, they were second to the British. You know,

63
00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:16,440
Speaker 2: on the other side of the drawer, we've got very

64
00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:19,400
Speaker 2: good Dutch crew. So I think it's just about, you know,

65
00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:22,240
Speaker 2: if they can put together the race that they need

66
00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:24,800
Speaker 2: to right, and this is what happens at the Olympics, right,

67
00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:27,440
Speaker 2: You've got to put the race or the throw or

68
00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:28,200
Speaker 2: the jump out there.

69
00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:30,240
Speaker 1: Eric, time is our enemy as it is in rowing.

70
00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:32,480
Speaker 1: I've got two more people to talk about. Emma Tweig

71
00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:35,760
Speaker 1: you mentioned her before, she's racing at seven thirty and

72
00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:39,840
Speaker 1: Tom mcintoss, our new singles skull Superstar, he's racing right after.

73
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:42,280
Speaker 1: So both those athletes, how about their chances?

74
00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:46,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that they should skate through the semi

75
00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:51,000
Speaker 2: finals relatively unharmed. You know, this is a semi final.

76
00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:52,680
Speaker 2: I think that all they have to do is make

77
00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:54,760
Speaker 2: sure they get in the top three and then they

78
00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:56,960
Speaker 2: can worry about the final when it comes. Good Man,

79
00:03:57,040 --> 00:03:59,040
Speaker 2: it's basically all it. That's all I got to worry about.

80
00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:01,880
Speaker 1: And you have you got Famo, do you feel do

81
00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:04,000
Speaker 1: you think you sit there and going, oh, look at

82
00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:06,840
Speaker 1: this this sort of like fan I wish I was there, come.

83
00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:10,640
Speaker 2: On a little a little bit, But mate, I've been

84
00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:12,680
Speaker 2: I've been on the other side of the fence a

85
00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:15,400
Speaker 2: little bit now, but no what the only the only

86
00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:17,960
Speaker 2: folmer I've got is effected. The tad wouldn't open up

87
00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:19,800
Speaker 2: any odds on the rowing because I could have put my.

88
00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:23,279
Speaker 1: You know what you need to do now that you're retired.

89
00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:25,000
Speaker 1: You need to go over and help me, he Drysdale

90
00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:27,680
Speaker 1: and tell dang a mate, you could be the deputy there.

91
00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:28,920
Speaker 1: You could be the deputy mare.

92
00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:32,400
Speaker 2: He's lid down. I'm not into politics now, good boy.
